Parish's definition of hallucinations
- Parish's definition of hallucinations
In 1894, the German hallucinations researcher Edmund Parish von Senftenberg (1861-1916) defined hallucinations as follows: "A hallucination is... a sense-perception like any other, 'only there happens to be no object there, that is the whole difference'." The passage between single quotation marks constitutes a reference to the definition of hallucinations as issued by the American psychologist and philosopher William James (1842-1910).
